A WOman's Accidental Discovery

A rather laughable story is that anent the
origin of blue tinted paper, once so much in
vogue for commercial uses. The wife of an
English paper manufacturer named William
East, going into the factory on the domestic
wash-day with an old-fashioned bluing bag
in her hand accidentally let the bug and its
contents fall into a vat full of pulp She
thought nothing of the incident and said
nothing about 1t either TO her husband or his
workmen. Great was the establishment of
the latter when the paper turned out pecu-
liar blue color, while the master was wroth
at what he regarded as gross carelessness on
the part of some of the hands His wife
wise woman-kept her own counsel. The
lot of paper was regarded as unstable and
was stored for four years. At length East
consigned it to his London correspondent
with instructions to sell it for what it would
bring. The unlucky paper was accepted as
happily designed novelty and was disposed
of in open market at considerable advance
in price. Judge of Mr.. East's surprise when
he received from his agent an order for q
large invoice of the despised blue paper !
Here was pretty dilemma; he was totally
ignorant of the manner in which the paper
had become blue in color, and in his perplex-
ity mentioned the matter to his wife. She
promptly enlightened her lord; he in turn
kept the simple process secret and was for
years the monopoist of the blue commercial
paper manufacture.

How to Clean Dresses.

Get five cents worth of soap.bark from the
druggists (about teacupful) For one dress
take half of it and steep in about one quart
of boiling water for about half nm hour or
more, then strain througba cloth.
For a silk dress, while the liquid is warm,
take piece of white flannel and dip into at
intervals, and rub the silk or satin with it till
it seems cleansed. When done pull the ma
terial straight and hang it to dry; do not
iron either the silk or satin. If the dress is
very much soiled use clean liquor to rinse it,
but do not use clear water for silk, or it will
not stiffen up well.
For wooden dress, dip the part to be
cleansed or the whole of it, if needed, into
the liquor. This can be rinsed in the same
after washing, or in clear warm water. If
very dirty put the dress to soak in tub in
the liquor, with more water added, before
cleaning or washing, The wooden goods
should be pressed before they are quite dry.
Water in which potatoes have been boiled
will cleanse delicate-colored wooden or worst.
ed goods. The dress should be wet all over.
Use no soap. Rinse in clear, warm water.
Press while still damp. This will not injure
the most delicate colors.
The liquor in which soap-bark has been
STEPPED, when used cold, is excellent for
washing blue lawns that are easily faded. 1t
should be washed with more water than is
used for woolens.

A coterie of his acquaintance who were

which closed in contest over jack pot con-
tanning some $3.50. They had started their
game ON Saturday, and on looking at their
watches discovered that it was nearly 5
o'clock of Sunday morning. One of the
players suggested, by way of penance, that
whoever won the jack pot should take it to
the church that day and put it into the con-
tribution box. The winner was somewhat

the contribution plate. On Monday morn

port of sermon delivered by the pastor of
the church in which feeling aluson was
made to the fact that on previous Sunday
a kind stranger had made generous dona-
ton TO the church. II sincerely hope and

could not find room for wife and mother.

melody in her heart. 1t will be for little
while, and when her mission is accomplish

Thoughtful Words.

The key which unlocks forbidden doors TO
our will or passion, leaves stain on the hand
that will not out.
All the noblest gifts of mind slip through
the grasp of an intirm purpose.
Wrong doing may come of an INDUCED in
trinity OF purpose, unconscious weakness
and conscious wickedness may often bring
about the same disastrous results.
Count your resources; learn what you are
not fit for, and give up wishing for il; learn
what you can do, and do it with the energy
of man.
Feelings come and go like light troops fol-
lowing the victory of the present; but prin-
ciples, like troops of the line, are undisturb-
ed and stand fast
1t seems to me that the coming of love is
like the coming of spring, the date is not to
be reckoned by the calendar. 1t may be slow
and gradual; ii may be quick and sudden.
But in the morning, when we wake and re-
cognize change in the world without, YER
dure on the trees, blossoms on the sward,
warmth in the sunshine, mfeic in the ass'
then we say, Spring has come n-1BGtioeT.A q.
But always there is seed being sown ST.
lenlly and unseen, and everywhere there
come sweet flowers, without our foresight or
labor. We reap what we SOW, but nature
has love over and above that justice, and gives
us shadow and blossom and fruit that spring
from no planting of ours.-Ge0rye Eliot.

Mr.. Gardiner-Mr. Speaker. I rise to present
the name of candidate for the high Office of
Senator in the Congress of the United States for
the State of Indiana. have in my mind man
born upon farm just across the Indiana line in
the State Of Ohio, near the mouth of the Miami
river, where he passed the years of his boyhood
and his youth. performing those duties incident
to a farmers life. and where, at the freside OF
farmers home, he drank deep the inspiration Of
patriotism His ambition led him into other
pursuits in life. and he chose for his chief voca-
ton that of lawyer. And in the ranks of that
profession he rapidly grew. and within very
short time he stood at the head of the great col
umn of bright and profound lawyers in the State
OF Indiana.
At very early age in his life the people Of this
State elected him to the Office of Reporter of the
Supreme Court of the State, and while fulfilling
the duties of that Office, when the war broke out
when the roll of the cannon was heard from tho
side of the Alleghenies, imbued. as say
with the patriotism that he had drunk
at his fathers knee laying down the duties of
his Office, putting aside the comforts of life and
its peaceful pursuits. laying aside for the time
the ambition to rise in civic honor, he took his
life in his hand and went out to battle for the
old flag. Fighting through the war, he came
back and resumed his position modestly in pri-
vate life. For thu last six years he has repre-
sented in part the great State of Indiana in the
Senate Of the Congress of the United States.
